1 million singles from Nicki Minaj‘s ‘The Pinkprint’ have been sold in the last month it has emerged today, purchased by US music lovers keen to support the Hip Hop album.
Full story below…
Not counting singles sold before the project’s release, Minaj can now boast of moving over 1 million tracks from the album in the US within its first month of release, reaching the milestone thanks to fans who opted to buy individual cuts from the album when it dropped on December 12th.
In the same period, the album has been streamed 57. 6 million times in the US alone while its US sales now sing (or raps) to the tune of 388,546 units.
After her single ‘Only’ crossed sales of 610,000 units in the market, Minaj joins J. Cole in celebrating good album-related news this week, as his ‘2014 Forest Hills Drive‘ release touches down at the 658,254 mark this week.
Elsewhere, Bruno Mars’ ‘Uptown Funk’ sits atop Billboard’s Streaming Songs chart thanks to 11.6 million streams pulled in in the last week, helping it to spend its second week atop the Billboard Hot 100.
In R&B water, Beyonce continues to make major waves with her self-titled album this week, moving 5,076 units which pushed it to sales of 2,192,000 units and a chart position of #31 on the Billboard 200, thirteen months after its release.
Meanwhile, Tinashe‘s ‘2 On’ rises two spots on the UK’s R&B Singles Top 40 while Elijah Blake‘s ‘Strange Fruit’ takes a bite into the 2,340 unit mark in the USA.
Although I thought she would be doing bigger numbers because the album is amazing! It’s still great numbers for just four weeks that should pick up when she starts her tour.
SAM MY DEAR, WE’RE AWAITING YOUR POST ON KERI HILSON & THE EMPTY STADIUM SHE PERFORMED TO. 🙂

TRAGIC FLOP MESS ARTPOP 2.0
@NICKI IS flop… B**** you keep making fun of the dead, aaliyah is dead keep her name or what killed her off your mouth. you will die someday.
Her plane crash is more memorable then anything Nicki has or will do
Her album is still out charting yours i see *sips tea*
@BeyRihLiyah and can you post the position of your album in those countries as well?
and can you choke on a dicccck
yes but only after you post your album positions *applies lip gloss
I would say your comment is not you hating at all, but that would be a lie too *sips tea*
Folks, WHERE THE HELL IS THE COLLABORATION WITH SMELLY FLOPLAND?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!
She sure does know how to TALK A GOOD FLOP!!!!!!!!!!
Every damn post! Your obsession is becoming disturbing
Whatever, you t***** dicklicking FLOPLOVER!!!!!!
Slaynikka!!! She came into the industry with goals and she has accomplished evey single one of them…5years in and already has an empire….hard work pays off, no matter how you look at it but she is winning all the way to the bank!!
I have learned 1 thing about Nicki and Queen Bey….don’t let nothing get between you and your paper and let haters in because they are your biggest inspiration
congratulations Nicki for all your success, I can’t help but be proud of women winning
I can never understand how people can hate on people about their business that does not even involve them…but oh well stupidity is a chosen skill
now awaiting for my other ladies to serve me with great music
I just love a woman who follows her dreams and never gives up, from Beyonce’s work Ethic, Nicki’s ambition,Rihanna’s wittyness,Ciara’s fighting spirit and Tinashe’s intro to the industry
I am proud to be a black beautiful woman
support your own instead of tearing each other apart

Best comment I’ve ever sen on this site. Let’s support our women when they do well. The motto around here seems to be lets tear the other artists down. Too bad others outside of TGJ don’t stan for charts and sales but rather the quality of a record and album.
Yaaaasss baby, serve the cold hard facts.
I will never shade nobody again ❤️
YOU BETTER STAN BITCHHH
yes Dave darling add in four weeks!! this Friday it’ll be gold WW!!! this is great and it will go plat ww!!!!
yea comes @LB with the ghostwriter joke in 3…2..1…!!! Nicki has indirectly clear that up in her IG post!!!! #in just 4 weeks!!!!
Not how it works. You’re gold and platinum in the country it sells in. And 500k WW in a month is a flop. That should be first week WW numbers. #OhWell
lmaoooo they’re dumb ass f**** for even saying it’s going to be gold ww
No 500k is no flop especially in the rap genre it’s not like any of them are pulling in Taylor swift numbers. but keep trying i’m here for you
@you’re trying but it’s not working, drag ha sis.
Good for Nicki! Pink Print slays, it’s definitely seeing platinum.
So? This is ridiculous. I keep forgetting that tgj stans for Nicki.
when will you though? can you even sell that nasty ass of yours?
Platinum worldwide, maybe.
NOT HOW IT WORKS!
This is impressive? For Nicki to be apart of the TGJ proclaimed “holy trilogy”, this isn’t that of which that title entails. Very underwhelming.
–
Side note: still waiting on TGJ PRAISE for the album, again they keep giving (lackluster) numbers yet still have not given ONE review or article BOASTING about how good the album is. I guess it’s safe to say like the rest of the world, they just like the songs with Beyoncé, Ariana and only a hand full of others. We know how TGJ bias inhibits them from true,!fair criticism
But King David has been dragging her U.K. sales like nobody’s bbusiness though, he stans for her but always keeps it real when she’s flopping.
They way you talk it’s as if you or your fav are out here selling millions of albums and singles like it’s just so easy. have a seat please and thank you.
I love Nicki Minaj but was this a reach for a milestone? Like what does that mean exactly? It wasn’t one million albums.
Can you explain how this is a reach? her singles are selling well. people are buying the songs that they like off the album. not everyone is selling million of albums except for a few artist. this is the new climate of the music industry today and for a female rapper i think she’s doing pretty well for herself
Slay b****!! Yass.
Btw, Meghan Trainer’s new album is absolutely a must hear. N it’s about to slay the albums chart too
200K I heard. What! Lol
I did NOT expect that at all! But I can’t say I’m surprised cause the album has really great songs. I just love her sound and style
Thanks for the juice David! You always keep your viewers updated with the latest tea *snap my fingers* LOVE IT!!!!!GWWWAAAARRRN NICKI!!! I think this is one of my favourite Albums, she really took it to a new level, she is an authentic story teller. “I lied” is my favourite track so far alongside favourite and feeling myself!
Lol the reach! The smoke! The mirrors! The album isn’t even gold yet so miss me with this!!!
yet it’s still selling,and all of it’s singles are selling you mad, pressed or both? slow and steady sales and longevity over that b******* you’re talking.
the album is out for 4 weeks now and approaching gold b4 the 8th week.. how is that not an accomplishment??? jesus you people are ridiculous when it comes to hating! stop hating and congratulate and uplift women doing it big in the music business! they already have it hard
Ciara’s new song is a bop! The vocals melody on the chorus is craaa
YAAZ BABE!!!
It is life giving!!!
Good for Nicki. I wonder if she’ll be able to go platinum again (certification wise) this era.
–
Bruno is slaying period good for him.
–
I wonder how much Taylor Swift will end up selling. Her last album red sold 4+ million in the US after 2 years and 1989 is at 3.9 or probably already crossed the 4m mark. I predict her stalling around 6m and 8m ww
Country Artist generally dont’ sale well outside of the United States & Canada. I doubt she sale over a million outside the states boo.
She is full pop now, and she has already sold over 5m ww
not a big nicki fan but I have to admit it pisses me off that a album this good didn’t push bigger numbers. It really is a hell of a good album
LMAO one million TRACKS? Y’all do the most to make it seem like Nicki is slaying. Bye girl fly girl 😆
Is that hunch back of Notre dame b**** you stan for selling anything today?? you talking all that s*** but kim can’t even get a proper album out…
Girl come back when kim can get a song on any chart.
3 PLATINUM ALBUMS VERSUS SHITCKI’S ONE!!! KIMMY WINS B**** #GRAMMYAWARDWINNER #TRENDSETTER
3 platinum albums my ass and how many hits does that thing know as kim have on the hot 100? I’ll wait….
a numberflipper. 1M tracks are 60+k combined album sales. so… what?!?
.
388k is good for a month spiked. tho… 56M streams versus that is… >NO$< … that works with the german lost in translation. 😉 😀
.
casual tea.
How many albums has Icky Azaelia’s Reclassified sold tho? Didnt she release it in Nov? ….. Icky FLop fans can;t stand that Nicki is the Queen of Rap.
Nicki will be gold in Feb. Easily.
who cares about iggy? how’d you get there? wtf. some random compare and “she’ll best that” of a stan? 😀 *shakes head*
Congrats Nicki!!!
Swift also easily leads the Top Album Sales chart, which ranks the best selling albums of the week based on pure album sales. 1989 sold 111,000 copies last week (down 35 percent). The set has now sold 3.94 million, and is on the verge of becoming Swift’s fifth album to sell 4 million copies. (Each of her studio efforts have exceeded four million in U.S. sales.)
lol she’s a walking contradiction. One minute she’s claiming sales don’t matter and she’s tired of everyone depending on the charts for success. Then the next she’s on Instagram writing essays of her stats…. I’m enjoying the album but I see it pushing a little over gold. She needs to humble herself next go round…
You was perched to watch tho…………..
Not exactly perched… I still rock with onika I’m just tired of the lies…
With all the hype thats poor.
not really
FLOP
Kim is the bigger flop tho
The excuses that are being made for this album. It’s underperforming! Streams are saving this wreck. 56M streams and only 300k+ in sales. 1M tracks means that ppl are buying a few songs instead of the entire album.
Get a life
Thought about buying her album but I don’t like the way she’s treating SB. Dude has nothing but love and respect for this chick and she does him dirty.
Barbz DON’T—->>>>
You and sb Can suck my titty lint
Girl you acting like you know what happened in THEIR relationship. Word been going around he cheated on her. Nicki just has too much pride to admit that. But listen to grand piano for the story.
Anyway, she owes SB NADA.
I think she is holding up well for a black female rapper. How many can get on. The music industry is biased, racist, and unfair. We all know that. Just look at how things work.
i love the album,money well spent.
No matter if it was in singles or albums, it’s all about girl power, so I’m happy for her!
I’ll continue to pass on her music it’s not for me I like 2 Songs & I’m done not my kind of Singer!!
Slay mama, keep doing you and you’ll see nothing will ever stuck on your path Nick.
No impressive at all.
Not impressive at all.
Why do people get so personal about a celebrities money and success? I could never understand that; on who you are addressing about something that has nothing to do with your life. If I like a song then I’ll buy. If I don’t then I just don’t buy it. simple.
These haters are soooo pressed because Nicki is slaying their favs. Queen of rap!!!
Wait a minute. 1 million singles?? Is this supposed to be good for an artist of her caliber? Let me know when she hits one million albums in the US.
artist of her caliber? b**** sit the f*** down she a a rapper and she’s doing very well for herself
